What is the most painful thing in life?

Some people say that nothing is the most painful, but is it true?

Sitting in the seat of the home team coach's seat of Arena Stadium, Ye Qiu held his chin and looked at the stadium. The surroundings were quiet, as if everyone had become mute, silently, no one spoke, and the original cheers were gone!

At this moment, Ye Qiu could answer with great certainty that nothing is painful at all. The most painful thing in life is that you once had!

Just a few minutes ago, he once thought that he was so close to his first league championship trophy in his life. He once thought that his first season in coach would eventually end in a satisfactory way. He once thought that he could gain a foothold in European football with this championship. He once thought...

Once, yes, once, because it has all passed!

"If you don't give me hope from the beginning, I will be more likely to accept it. But why, since you gave me hope and even made me feel within reach for a while, but in the end, you cruelly destroyed hope. Why is this?"

He raised his head slightly and looked at the night sky of Arena Stadium. His eyes were sour, as if something was about to be squeezed out, but Ye Qiu blinked his eyes hard to prevent his tears from falling out.

Tears represent weakness, failure, admit defeat, and acceptance. But now he doesn’t like weakness, does not accept failure, and cannot admit defeat, so why should he cry?

In another game far away, Eindhoven was unable to break Nijmegen's goal for a long time in the second half. Gretz had no choice but to replace Van Nistruei, who had decided to join Manchester United. As a result, the Dutch center scored three goals and scored a hat trick, helping Eindhoven win the league championship trophy.

The lucky Eindhoven, the lucky Gretz, the lucky Frank Arnesen, but he was the unlucky Ye Qiu!

If Van Niege scores one less goal, if Nijmegen holds on for a longer time, if...

But in this world, there is no fucking if!

As the news came, many people couldn't help crying in the stands of Arena Stadium because they could not accept such a result. They were like Ye Qiu, and they thought they were going to win, but they lost in the end.

Losing completely, losing everything!

On the court, Alkmaar's players had already left, and only Ajax's players looked sad. Even tough guys like Ibrahimovic and Lucio couldn't help but sit on the grass. Obviously, they couldn't get out of the huge gap just now, from heaven to hell.

"We should be the most tragic runner-up in the history of the Eredivisie League, right?" Ye Qiu asked with a bitter smile full of sourness.

Bobby Hams doesn't know how to answer. If two teams run side by side and fight to the last round, would that be miserable?

But Ajax has been behind from the beginning of the season, from 11 points behind to 2 points. In the last round, even for most of the time, if you follow the regular real-time standings, Ajax is already the leader, surpassing Eindhoven. But in the end, Fanny's third goal in stoppage time in the 91st minute completely destroyed Ajax's hope.

In other words, Ajax had already completed the Jedi counterattack, but at the last moment, he lost again!

If he performed poorly and lost, it would be nothing, but Ajax performed better and deserved to win the championship, but in the end he lost the championship, which is undoubtedly the most tragic thing.

"Don't do this, you lose if you lose. Let's start over next season!" Bobby Hams didn't know how to comfort Ye Qiu.

Even though he has been knowledgeable for decades and has experienced countless failures, he is a little numb to failures, but this time he still feels very uncomfortable, but what can he do now?

"Do I have next season?" Ye Qiu asked with a wry smile.

He made the military order, and he lost the bet after losing the league championship.

But soon, Ye Qiu stretched out his hands hard, patted his face, and woke up his spirits, "Don't worry, Bobby, I won't be depressed because of this. Sooner or later, I will get back everything I lost today!"

For Ye Qiu, he had no choice but to continue moving forward. No matter what the directors of Kornar and his gang wanted to do, he would take it on, even if they were fired.

Walking into the stadium, Ye Qiu walked towards the players one by one, hugged them, patted their backs and heads, praising them for their good performance and perfection, and encouraged them not to give up, not to lose confidence and hope.

Finally, everyone gathered in the court and stood in a group around Ye Qiu.

"We lost, guys!"

Ye Qiu's straightforward words made many people present feel sad.

They are all a group of young people, all full of hunger for champions and honors. They are willing to put in more effort for this, and they only seek rewards corresponding to their efforts, but now they have lost.

"I don't want everyone to feel sad because they performed better than us, so, despite my millions of unwillingness in my heart, I still want to say that Eindhoven performed better than us, and they didn't make any big mistakes throughout the season, so they won the championship!"

This is true, because Eindhoven has lost two games in the Eredivisie this season, one against Ajax and the other in the first round of the league, but the reason why they were caught up with Ajax was that they had too many draws.

In other words, Eindhoven can ensure that the team gets a draw even in poor condition. Relatively speaking, Ajax lost too many points, which is the reason why they lost the league championship.

We can't just look at the last game, or just look at the next schedule, but should be magnified to the entire season. Eindhoven's winning of the championship is natural, because they are more outstanding and more stable, and unbeaten at least 25 rounds is enough to make the entire Eredivisie invincible.

If it weren't for the last few rounds, morale was sluggish and psychologically hit, Eindhoven would have won the championship, right?

"I am as sad as everyone in this defeat. You have paid a lot on the court, but you must believe that I will not give less to the team than you, so if I lose, I will be sad. But I want to remind everyone that losing is not scary, what is scary is that we have lost the confidence and fighting spirit to win!"

"If you lose today, we will win back tomorrow. If you lose this season, we will win back hundreds of times the next season!"

"We lost a league championship. Then three days later, we went to win the Dutch Cup championship. A week later, we went to Germany to win the League Cup championship trophy. Only in this way can we be worthy of our efforts and efforts over the past year, and this group of fans who came to the scene to cheer for us!"

All the players looked at their head coach. Perhaps some of them were suspicious in their hearts that he would still lead the team next season? Perhaps some of them had not yet been able to get out of the shadow of losing the championship, or perhaps some of them did not agree with Ye Qiu, but at least, at this moment, after listening to the head coach's words, they would feel better.

Ye Qiu is right, there is also the Dutch Cup and a League Cup that is more substantial than the Eredivisie champion!

…………

…………

Ajax tragically lost the league championship. Many Dutch media were looking for head coach Ye Qiu at Arena Stadium, but unfortunately, Ye Qiu didn't even attend the press conference after the game, and directly asked Bobby Hams to replace him.

This made all the reporters present feel regretful, but some of them gave them consideration.

He just lost the league championship that is within reach, and his mood must be extremely bad. Let him accept your interrogation and accusations at this time. Wouldn't that be a point of injury to him?

It was not just Ye Qiu. As soon as the team finished the game, they went directly to DeTok Most and then immediately disbanded. The players went home, and no one was interviewed by reporters because Ye Qiu gave the order to prohibit private interviews and also conveyed the requirement to the Ministry of Information to cancel all interview appointments.

It is difficult to help in time, and it is easy to add to the wrong side. Ye Qiu knows the thoughts of the media and reporters. He hopes that before the two finals, he can give the team a more relaxed and calm preparation environment and does not want to be disturbed by the outside world.

And after he had arranged everything, he took Roland's car and went home.

"I'm hungry, Achu, make noodles!"

As soon as he pushed open the door of the house, Ye Qiu shouted at Huang Chu who was sitting in the living room with Eliza.

Huang Chu was lazy to come back to watch his game tonight.

"Look, I have such a loud voice, and I know it's okay when I hear it!" Eliza turned around from the sofa and said with a smile.

Huang Chu looked at Ye Qiu deeply. She and Eliza both knew Ye Qiu the same way, but the two of them performed completely differently. Huang Chu had the kind of gentle and graceful personality that hoped to share Ye Qiu's role, while Eliza had the kind of cheerful and optimistic personality. She knew that Ye Qiu was annoyed, but she still wanted to deliberately joke with him.

Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums are all good at playing.

As long as Huang Chu is there, there is never any need to worry about not having food at home.

Not long after, a large bowl of fragrant braised noodles appeared in the restaurant.

Ye Qiu picked up the chopsticks and spoons, ate them in big mouthfuls, and ate them with relish, making a lot of noise.

"Please, I didn't eat much tonight, okay? As for how hot it is?" Eliza heard the noise of him eating noodles in the living room, immediately complained dissatisfiedly, walked over and looked at Huang Chu who was sitting opposite Ye Qiu and looking at Ye Qiu eating noodles, "A Chu, is there any?"

Huang Chu smiled and shook his head, "Didn't you say it earlier!"

"You care about him, don't care about me at all, and forget your righteousness when you see sex!" Eliza angrily.

Ye Qiu raised his head and smiled, "Why don't you give you some soup?"

When Huang Chu heard this, he burst into laughter.

"Go to die!" Eliza walked back to the living room angrily.

I feel hungry and I feel it tastes good if I eat.

After pouring a large bowl of braised noodles into his stomach, Ye Qiu felt at ease.

"Look, you can eat so much, but you're so full. You don't look like a person who is depressed because of losing?" Eliza obviously held a grudge against what he said just now and deliberately attacked him.

"Who is in a low mood? It's just a game!" Ye Qiu walked into the living room and sat down. "A football man said that a successful head coach must first learn how to accept failure, because failure is the fuck of success!"

"Who said that?" Eliza glanced at him.

"Me!" Ye Qiu pointed at himself.

Eliza and Huang Chu both laughed constantly. This guy was good at playing tricks, proving that he was really okay.

Ye Qiu grabbed Huang Chu's hand next to him, which was sitting next to him. It was very soft and felt comfortable in his palm. The little girl's face was flushed and wanted to retract, her eyes seemed to be blaming Ye Qiu. Eliza was watching, but this guy was unmoved and grabbed it tightly.

"I know you care about me, but I'm not that weak. Isn't it just a league championship? I can't win this season, and I will definitely get it next season. Even if I can't win it in Ajax, I will go to another team, no matter where I go, I can still get it!"

When he said this, Ye Qiu was really full of confidence.

With his performance in Ajax this season, even if he really can't win any championship, he doesn't have to worry about not having a team coach, because now he has become famous throughout the Netherlands, and more and more teams are full of interest in him. If he is really dismissed, even teams like Eindhoven and Feyenoord want to invite him.

Not only the Netherlands, because of Ajax's outstanding performance in the League Cup this season, teams in other European leagues are also interested in Ye Qiu, but there are no giants, and they are basically downstream relegation teams in the four major leagues.

With this confidence, Ye Qiu is still afraid of losing the position of Ajax head coach?

"I'm not in the mood to care about you, I'm just worried about our business!" Eliza stood up from the soft sofa. Ye Qiu realized that she had taken a shower and changed clothes, and her slender and crystal-clear legs were exposed under her pajamas.

Seeing Eliza leaving, Huang Chu's pink face turned red. Of course, she knew Eliza was not going to stay as a light bulb.

Ye Qiu pulled it gently, and Huang Chu threw himself into his arms.

"Don't worry about me, you should worry about yourself. How is your studies?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Huang Chu smiled slightly, "It's always been good, but..."

"But what?" Ye Qiu asked after seeing Huang Chu want to speak but stop.

Huang Chu looked at him, "I plan to go to Cambridge University to study."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately smiled and said, "What a good thing, how sad?" There are not many people who can study at Cambridge University.

"But the University of Cambridge is in the UK!"

"I know!" Ye Qiu nodded. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Cambridge University was in the UK.
